Drawing From Life (from home)

Over the last few days I've really been making an effort to try and get myself into the habit of just sketching around the house, especially focusing on trying to get myself used to drawing people. I'm still really critical and unsatisfied with the way I've been drawing people, I think my style looks overdone and un-realistic. But on the other hand think you can see an improvement in both confidence and ability, confidence is coming along quicker than ability and its still difficult for me to draw what I want to communicate in as few lines as possible, maybe I need to do some kind of exercise in simplified drawing?
